Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
What are your planned goals and/or dreams you're not sure how to achieve?
I want to hmmm...
-Be one of those poetic literary queers living in or around San Francisco.
(If not San Fran that at least smack-dab in the heart of the city of Atlanta, which I'm not too far from c:
Second choices for eventual city I will live in when I'm out on my own are: London, Toronto, Ontario, New York, maybe Tokyo? Idk if I could deal with the culture shock, though.)
-Get a specialty license (after Med school) for Endocrinology so I can prescribe HRT (hormone replacement therapy) for transgendered patients suffering from gender dysphoria, and menopausal women who come in with depression and mood swings.
-Find out what the hell's causing my sleeping spells (mild narcolepsy? something else?) and become strong, healthy and resilient enough so that I don't have them every day, and don't have to abuse caffeine just to stay awake and functional.
-Find a long term pain management clinic/regimen.
-Have my grit and my romantic, poetic eloquence in exactly equal proportions.
-Find a mentor who isn't abusive, controlling, or otherwise creepy and bad Dx
-Have enough money to get a rhinoplasty (nose job). I've wanted one since I was 14, and my mind hasn't changed. Also chin lipo and MAYBE ears pinned back.
-Get my Danzig tattoo "I'm not about to see your light, but if you wanna find hell with me, I can show you what it's like" and my Alice in Chains tats "If I would, could you?" and "I'm still alive".

What are your goals and dreams?
I wanna be happy and not let my depression take over all the time so the right med combo would be great. So being stable would fall under both short and long term.
And I want to stop fearing/over thinking the future.
I usually don't look too far into the future... 1 T told me that this common for molestation victims. I dunno but it was interesting to hear that.
I would love to go back to school part time. To be able to get a part time job.
To have more confidence would be a short and long time goal.
I would really like to pull out of this crushing depression
I like that.
Lose a lot of weight.
get my license, but I get really nervous when I drive.
Finish the portrait of my Nana that I started 8 yrs ago
Weight loss is always on my list!
To reconnect with family. Some stupid dispute 5 yrs ago and no one is on speaking terms.
Get out more! Always dreading leaving the house, but when I do go out I find it's not so terrible. ..for a certain period of time!
Get my dragon tattoo. Just need the loot. If I can stop spending money on stupid shit I would have gotten it years ago
Try to chill. Stop making everything about me. My fault this my fault that.
Control temper. Got the tools just not the stanima
on and on it goes....
